Copyright Licence Agreementwith expert lawyers

In Australia, when someone expresses an idea in a material form, it is automatically protected by copyright. Copyright protects your original expression of ideas, whether in writing, a photo or a drawing. This means other people cannot use your IP without your consent or without a licence agreement.

Copyright is just one way to protect your intellectual property. For businesses, protecting IP is important because it can be central to your branding, marketing, and position in the market.

As well as copyright protection, such as through a Copyright Licence Agreement, you may also be able to register a trade mark with IP Australia. Protecting your IP is an important step for many businesses, so speak to our experienced IP lawyers if you need a hand.

A Copyright Licence Agreement sets out the terms of the copyright licence. This often includes payment terms, the scope of the licence, termination rights, and liability protections.

Put simply, it outlines the arrangement under which you are licensing your copyrighted material.

A licence is an arrangement that allows another party to use something you own. It can be thought of as legal permission to use your property, or in this case, your intellectual property.

If someone uses your IP without a licence, this may amount to a breach of copyright. IP can be a complex area, especially in the early stages of a business. Our IP lawyers are happy to talk you through your options.
